Chapter 243 Shooting starts!

"Teacher Huang, this is a gift specially given to you by all our flight attendants."

"Brother Thirteen, could you please give me an autograph? I'm your fan."

"Thank you, Brother Thirteen."

On the flight from Capital Airport to Canada, Huang Baiyou quietly signed an autograph for the flight attendant and received a glass of reserved white wine.

Long-haul international flights provide a small amount of alcohol, but this flight did not. The flight attendant’s gift was indeed unique, even though Huang Baiyou didn’t like drinking.

"Brother Huang, your popularity is quite high. Basically every time you take a domestic flight, there are stewardesses asking for your autograph." Wu Xiaoxiao sat next to you.

Life assistants and executive brokers fly around with me. The air tickets must be guaranteed, but they are only economy class.

For Wu Xiaoxiao, she will not be upgraded for short distances, but if the flight lasts more than five hours, she will pay for the upgrade herself.

"Let's set a small goal. If we fly on AirAsia, we will be recognized." Wu Xiaoxiao was full of fighting spirit.

Setting goals for others, Xiaoxiao must have high morale.

"I work hard to achieve small goals." Huang Baiyou nodded.

When Chu Yuan took over Daydream Studio, her development path was to consolidate her domestic position and expand her influence in Asia.

This is contrary to Qin Xing's strategy when he was an agent. The latter's focus was mainly on the country. He believed that artists should be promoted to the top domestic actors first.

The former believes that it is enough to maintain domestic status and expand their influence in Asia. They can directly skip the "queue of top actors" and become the number one actor in China.

Who is better and who is worse depends on the curative effect!

The two chatted for a while and then took a nap respectively. After all, they had to fly for eleven hours.

The filming location of "Wushuang" spans three countries. In addition to China and Hong Kong, it also needs to go to Thailand and Canada.

According to the location rental time of the external production, the first stop for filming was Vancouver.

The overpass across the railway next to CRAB Park, the Eternal Convention and Exhibition Center, the Independent Masonic Building at 505 Hamilton Street, the Lion Bay Plain, and other seven or eight filming locations.

The above filming locations all require coordination of suitable times and more suitable rental prices, so Huang Baiyou quite admires the position of external producer.

When we arrived at our destination, everyone was very tired.

Even though the crew of Xiangjiang was in a hurry, they still had a day for everyone to catch up on jet lag.

Huang Baiyou felt limp all over, and wanted to hug the bed and sleep to death, but she never thought that Wu Xiaoxiao still had the strength to fight. She said she was going to the Pacific Center for a bloody battle.

"Are you really not tired?" Huang Baiyou replied and put down the phone.

Take out your computer, pen and paper from your suitcase.

Before it even started, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Why didn't you ring the doorbell? Huang Baiyou stood up, walked to the door and looked through the peephole. He saw a familiar figure - Chang Shudi, dressed in a classic little black dress, standing pretty outside the door.

Opening the door, Huang Baiyou said: "It turns out to be Teacher Chang."

The two had worked together in "The Actor" not long ago, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"How long did it take Teacher Chang to arrive?"

"At nine o'clock in the morning, I heard from the staff that Teacher Huang has arrived. Come and say hello." Chang Shudi said, "I got familiar with the hotel. There is a gym on the third floor and a rooftop swimming pool on the fifth floor. However, there are too many people. Teacher Huang If you are tired, you can try the spa here. It is said that the hotel’s spa is their signature.”

When Chang Shudi spoke, her fingers tapped on the sofa cushions.

And because it has armor plates, the knocking sound is like an amplified sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

"Understood." Huang Baiyou nodded. Chang Shudi was also overly enthusiastic about him, and felt that the other person was particularly excited.

Chang Shudi asked: "Teacher Huang, do you have an appointment tonight? Have a meal together?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable after sitting on the plane for too long. I'll ask Teacher Chang next time." Huang Baiyou told the truth and planned to take a few bites of bread tonight.

Nowadays, he no longer cares about other people's moods and ignores his own state. This is Huang Baiyou's biggest evolution after time travel!

"My negligence," Chang Shudi realized that she had arrived in the morning and had already taken a nap in the hotel and had a spa treatment, but the other party had just arrived.

"Then take a good rest, Teacher Huang, and I won't bother you anymore." Chang Shudi also left wisely.

She took the initiative to approach Huang Baiyou, not because of the love between a man and a woman. She came to a foreign country to film in an unfamiliar place and just wanted to talk to an acquaintance, otherwise she would be too excited.

That's right, I'm not nervous, I'm excited. When I think about filming with Huang Baiyou and Ye Jianxuan, who is known as the god of acting, I can't wait to start filming right now.

Being too excited also affects the shooting.

Chang Shudi came to the hotel lobby, walked around in a circle, and saw Ye Jianxuan, the painter who played the role in Li Wen's story.

She was about to go over to say hello, but she saw someone scolding someone. Was it the life assistant? Chang Shudi stopped in his tracks.

After Chang Shudi left, Huang Baiyou was left alone in the room. He continued to carry out unfinished business and record something.

"They are all compliments, so I have to be more vigilant." Huang Baiyou continued his habit of reading negative reviews to improve his acting skills.

But after playing "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", Huang Baiyou basically didn't see any negative comments about his performance.

Searching the entire Internet, Huang Baiyou even specifically highlighted the negative review section of The Detective——

[The plot is confusing and not good to watch. ]

[For a suspense film, the case is too simple, and there is a sense of mystery. Ju Xilei is still a gangster. ]

[I didn’t understand it, and my boyfriend didn’t understand it either. I read the movie reviews and still didn’t understand it. ]

Wait, the bad reviews are all about the plot.

I finally saw his name appear in the negative reviews, it was [I don’t like to express psychology in this way, but I like Huang Baiyou’s acting skills very much].

Still a compliment.

"Now my acting skills are definitely not perfect. As for the lack of negative reviews, well... the audience is here to watch the show, not to delve into my acting skills."

"My performance can satisfy the audience and appreciate the film critics. If I want to go further, I have to learn during filming."

Huang Baiyou never expected that the method he learned from Oscar-winning actor Babette would be shelved so quickly.

After going to bed early to recuperate his energy, Huang Baiyou took off his headphones and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

The next day at noon was the opening banquet, because in foreign countries, everything such as worshiping gods is kept simple. Hundreds of people from the crew gathered together and set up more than a dozen tables.

The main creative staff sat at the same table. Huang Baiyou was also a little excited to see Ye Jianxuan for the first time.

I saw that he was almost seven years old and had many wrinkles on his face. Even with careful maintenance, he could not stop his aging look.

But my hair is really thick, dark and dense. Is it a hair transplant?

"Uncle Ye, I grew up watching your movies." Huang Baiyou took the initiative to toast at the dining table.

"I also watched Bai You's movies. When "M. Butterfly" and "Thirteen Sons of the South China Sea" came out, they were really amazing. I didn't have this kind of acting skills when I was young." Ye Jianxuan's voice is low, but full of energy.

"That's such a compliment. Uncle Ye will definitely be proud of you for praising me like this."

Ye Jianxuan stood up and said, "Xiaopeng, come here."

Zhao Dapeng, who was at the other table, stood up immediately when he heard the sound. He was in his thirties and could tell at a glance that he was a few years older than Huang Baiyou.

Chang Shudi, who was immersed in cooking, recognized this person as the man who was scolded by Ye Jianxuan in the lobby yesterday.

"Bai You, this is Xiaopeng who plays Qizai." Ye Jianxuan introduced.

Huang Baiyou is very familiar with the script and knows that this character is the security guard of the counterfeit banknote team, and he has a lot of roles.

"Xiao Peng is my nephew." Ye Jianxuan said, "Xiao Peng proposes a glass of wine to Brother Qin Huang."

Before Huang Baiyou could speak, Zhao Dapeng immediately said, "Brother Huang, I offer you a glass of wine. Those who are successful are brothers. I am absolutely willing to call you brother."

You can tell that Zhao Dapeng is speaking from his heart.

"Okay, let's call him separately. You call him yours and I call him mine." Huang Baiyou also called him Brother Zhao.

"Then let's have a drink together to celebrate the successful launch." Director Zhou Beihong stood up and raised his glass, calling on everyone to raise a glass to celebrate.

Because we have other plans in the afternoon, we use drinks or alcoholic beverages instead.

Even though the hotel commissioned the dishes were Chinese banquets, the dishes...

Saint-Jacques Exploded Duck, Chinese Sauce-style Soft Fried Pork Chops, Special Spicy Sweet and Sour Sauce Baked Pork Tenders with Green Onions and other dishes, I don’t know if the chef has a little knowledge or the raw materials are missing, and the taste is very unauthentic.

These three dishes look like they have never been seen before, but in fact most Chinese people have eaten them, but the translated names are a little weird.

Of course, it is more vivid than red stewed pork ribs. Huang Baiyou was toasted and drank water until he was full. He and Ye Jianxuan were toasted the most.

It doesn’t matter whether the boot-up party is not all fun or not. What’s important is that with this program, booting up is still "foreign" when you go abroad. The red package contains 5 Canadian dollars.

Considering the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan, the Wushuang crew was quite generous.

"Teacher Huang, if everything is okay, can we go for a walk together?"

Every step he took, he felt water sloshing in his stomach. Huang Baiyou was about to go home when he heard a female voice behind his ear.

Um? When did someone else tell him this sentence? It was reversed. Huang Baiyou also noticed that Chang Shudi was not in the right state.

"Okay, just walk along this road." Huang Baiyou said.

The two of them walked forward. Chang Shudi originally had nail patches on all ten of his fingers, but after one day, four of them fell off.

The street trees on both sides of the road are maple trees, but it is June, so the maple leaves are not red, only green.

Let’s talk about the two people on the other side who went back to the hotel directly without taking a walk.

"This year is your last chance to take over your father's shoes, step back behind the scenes and become a director, and you will have no shortage of connections in the industry." Ye Jianxuan was wearing reading glasses.

Zhao Dapeng poured tea for his uncle and said, "Huang Baiyou's acting skills are very good. I think if I can learn from him, I might be able to improve."

"Do you still want to imitate Huang Baiyou in acting? Wake up, you can't even learn the most basic things I teach you, so don't aim too high." Ye Jianxuan sneered after hearing this.

The foundation...Zhao Dapeng really wanted to say, what kind of foundation is that to "resonate with the character", according to Ye Jianxuan's words.

After getting the script, after reading it, you have to think about what the character thinks and understand what the character hates. Is this the basis?

But he only dared to roar in his heart, because his uncle was known as the God of Acting in Hong Kong, and the only actor in Hong Kong and Taiwan who could rival him was the Thousand Faces Best Actor.

"I watched a variety show and felt that Huang Baiyou's acting skills have a very low threshold." Zhao Dapeng said: "I should be able to learn something useful."

"Low threshold only means one thing, it is difficult to learn well." Ye Jianxuan drank tea, "Don't bother, you will never learn well."

The decisive conclusion made Zhao Dapeng's face lose all color. He didn't know what the physiological structure was, but his current mood was extremely panicked.

"Let you hit the wall," Ye Jianxuan put down the tea, "I'm going to put down my old face and let Bai You take good care of you, and I'll see what you can learn."

"Thank you uncle."

Zhao Dapeng hurriedly thanked him, but he no longer had confidence because his uncle was an authority on performance.

Zhao Dapeng started acting after graduating from college. He did well in his first film, but his uncle Ye Jianxuan was not satisfied.

The uncle believed that under his personal guidance, the first film was not even nominated for Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards, which was simply bad.

Then it gets worse year by year. He has been in the industry for six or seven years in his thirties and has no representative roles. If his uncle is not Ye Jianxuan, he will not get the supporting role in "Wushuang".

After all, "Wu Shuang" is a Hong Kong drama with medium investment.

At present, Hong Kong films have come to an end, and there are very few Hong Kong films that can get an investment of 50 million. What's more, the investment of "Wushuang" is 200 million, and with the promotion and distribution, it will exceed 250 million.

This is why Zhou Beihong must invite Huang Baiyou. If Huang Baiyou and Ye Jianxuan join forces, the box office appeal will definitely be greater than one plus one.

Returning to the two people walking, the road is straight, with a man and a woman half a step apart.

I don’t know how long Huang Baiyou and Chang Shudi had been gone. Chang Shudi suddenly asked, “How can I feel more peaceful before filming starts?”

"Are you nervous or too excited?" Huang Baiyou actually knew it was the latter, but he still asked for the sake of rigor.

"Excited." Chang Shudi said: "Teacher Ye Jianxuan is my childhood idol, and Teacher Huang is the actor I most want to work with... I just can't control it. Teacher Huang, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Huang Baiyou answered affirmatively at first, and then changed the topic: "You must have been preparing for this scene for a long time."

"I have never prepared a scene so carefully in a long time." Chang Shudi replied.

"What preparations did Teacher Chang make? Can I hear it?" Huang Baiyou asked again.

Well, Chang Shudi never thought that the other party would break the casserole and ask for the truth, but there was nothing shady about the preparation before the play.

She recounted everything——

I went to observe every move of the painter as he painted.

She went to a gun club to learn how to hold a gun. After all, this was her first time shooting a gunfight scene.

I wrote a very detailed analysis of the script, which is 30,000 to 40,000 words long.

After finishing speaking, Chang Shudi was surprised to find - "I don't feel so excited anymore."

"Really? That's great," Huang Baiyou said, "It proves that Teacher Chang can control his emotions better."

Is it her fault? Chang Shudi's IQ is not low, and he wanted to understand the whole thing in a flash. The reason why he was excited was because he wanted to show himself in front of Huang Baiyou and Ye Jianxuan.

I just talked about it all at once, psychologically speaking, it has already brightened up a little.

"Teacher Huang, if you don't want to be an actor, it's absolutely fine to become a psychological counselor." Chang Shudi praised.

"Really? I think I might have been a psychological counselor in my previous life." Huang Baiyou said.

"Special thanks to Teacher Huang for accompanying me."

After solving the long-standing problem, Chang Shudi owed Huang Baiyou two meals.

"The crew should really pay me two wages." Huang Baiyou returned to the room and thought to himself.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

This time it was the doorbell that rang, not Bangbang's knock, Huang Baiyou opened it, it was Ye Jianxuan who led Zhao Dapeng...

The next day, the sky was not beautiful.

The sky was gray and gray. Fortunately, the first scene was shot indoors, so the weather didn't affect it.

The indoor shooting location is the Steelworks Studio, formerly the building of the Buhler Steelworks. It is currently a film and television art space, and many American independent films have been shot here.

In the play, it is where Li Wen and Ruan Wenyu live.

Yes, the first scene is between Huang Baiyou and Chang Shudi.

People in Hong Kong attach great importance to the first scene, so the entire cast of the script was present.

This piece has four thousand words.

I owe two thousand words today and will make up for it tomorrow.

Face covering, my level is limited, I can only write like this, there is an outline and a big plot, but it needs to be better, it’s because I’m not capable enough.
